Description Dobrin Alexiev

Build Identifier: 3.6.1

I noticed that if I increase the interval if the user preference “Run/Debug  -> View Performance > Minimal interval between steps” to 2 seconds the step buttons are enabled but the command won’t be dispatched to the user within two seconds.
I believe in the DSF version the step commands enablement has to somehow be hooked up to the SteppingController. 
Not a big dial. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
change the profernce  “Run/Debug  -> View Performance > Minimal interval between steps” to 2 seconds.
Start a DSF GDB debug session and step more than once. 
See the buttons are enabled but clcking them does nothig.

We cannot disable the step commands because there is no event that would make them enable again.  We also don't want to actually queue a step command during the delay time, because when you hold down the F5/F6 key you want stepping to cease as soon as you release the key, esp. with long delay times like 2 sec.
I understand that the behavior of the toolbar buttons is a little unexpected, but there is no easy fix for that atm.
